Paislee Hatch

When asked which student in third grade best represents the pillar of caring, one student came to mind, Paislee Hatch. Many memories from the first two quarters run through her teacher's head, but one in particular stands out as the most caring of them all. One day a fellow student was having a hard time at school, not being able to pay attention or focus, as well as struggling to stay organized. Paislee overheard this student sobbing to me about his struggles; she came over and told him it would be okay. She notified me after that she wanted to move her seat to sit next to him in the hopes that she would be able to keep him on task and organized. Paislee's selflessness is amazing to see at such a young age. Besides this one moment in time, Paislee has also welcomed the new students into her classroom with open arms. She asks them to play with her and her friends, as well as sit with her at lunch, and show them around school. When speaking to her mother about these examples on several occasions, her response is "I am so proud of her and none of these things surprise me." She continued with, "Paislee has always had a heart of gold and always wants to help kids with different needs." These details are very true of her character. She is a kind and caring soul.
